Read These Inspirational Words From Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles

Talent is a Gift. Character is a Choice

Not an Eagles fan, but I’m definitely going to be a Foles fan going forward. It will be interesting to see where he lands next year...

I think the big thing is don't be afraid to fail. I think in our society today, Instagram, Twitter, it's a highlight reel. It's all the good things. And then when you look at it, when you think like, wow, when you have a rough day, “My life's not as good as that,” (you think) you're failing. Failure is a part of life. It's a part of building character and growing. Without failure, who would you be? I wouldn't be up here if I hadn't fallen thousands of times. Made mistakes. We all are human; we all have weaknesses, and I think throughout this, (it's been important) to be able to share that and be transparent. I know when I listen to people speak and they share their weaknesses, I'm listening. Because (it) resonates. So I'm not perfect. I'm not Superman. I might be in the NFL; I might have just won a Super Bowl, but, hey, we still have daily struggles, I still have daily struggles. And that's where my faith comes in; that's where my family comes in. I think when you look at a struggle in your life, just know that's just an opportunity for your character to grow. And that's just been the message. Simple. If something's going on in your life and you're struggling? Embrace it. Because you're growing.

Great words..
Failure is part of our daily life but when some fails, they hardly rise because they painted their heart with the thought of been a loner but this is wrong
When you don't fail you don't exist, failure sometimes proves your existence.
Failure gives room for opportunity to improve better than your good.

A quote writter once said that if you haven't failed then you haven't tried a new thing.
